Canadian actress, known as Susan Francisco in Alien Nation, who played Lieutenant Jenna D'Sora, the security officer who tries a romance with Data, in the Next Generation episode In Theory.
Michele Scarabelli is a Canadian actress best known to genre audiences as Susan Francisco in the television series Alien Nation and its follow-up films.
In the fourth-season episode In Theory, the first Star Trek episode directed by Patrick Stewart, she plays Jenna D'Sora, a member of the Enterprise-D's security staff who works with Data in the torpedo bay. Newly out of an unhappy relationship, she kisses the android and he resolves to pursue the matter, writing a dedicated subroutine for the purpose.
Scarabelli makes Jenna sympathetic as she slowly realises that Data's attentiveness cannot become feeling, and ends the experiment herself.
